ABUJA — The Federal Ministry of Education has fully automated the evaluation and authentication of academic credentials. Applicants will no longer need to visit the ministry in person, as the entire process is now handled online through a dedicated platform. The Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, said the change reduces bureaucracy, speeds up processing and makes the service easier for Nigerians living abroad. He said it will also strengthen the credibility of Nigerian certificates with employers and institutions at home and abroad, and described it as part of the digital transformation of education administration.
